But, Pima, I thought that the "reserve" commission for ROTC cadets was eliminated YEARS ago? And that as long as you come in to the AD force, that everyone is a "Regular Officer?"

I am extremely sure that it is for all services.You are correct at least as far as the Army is concerned. If you choose AD you are a Regular Officer. There is no longer any difference between any commissioning source in regard to your commission status.
Interesting what Pima wrote, I too thought that when Congress changed commissioning status from reserve to regular it was intended for all the services, not just the Army.
The law was changed for all services- it was not just the Army
Does this moratorium apply to GRFD and DED ARNG GRFD scholarships? I read through this thread and was wondering if "in school" scholarships referred to the scholarships I was told I could compete for "on-campus."
Thank you.
I believe that the moratorium that has been talked about refers to the scholarships that a cadet would compete for on campus. The ARNG scholarships are a different process.
OUCH...@50% hurts big time.
I smell blood in the water regarding how competitive this yr will be.
Where do schools like VMI, Citadel, CoC schools fall in this scenario? Do you think that they will get hit as hard, or do you think they are going to "save" them from the budget axe?
If I am reading this correctly, it is a trickle down system, so the lower tiered colleges may find they have no scholarships at all?
Final question.
